Abstract
The efficient asymmetric preparation of the C2-symmetric chiral 1,4-diamine, (1R,2S,4R,5S)-1,4-diamino-2,5-dimethylcyclohexane (5), and its salen ligands is described. With the Mitsunobu reaction as the key step, the overall yield of the four-step synthesis of 5 is 45%. The enantioselective alkynylation of meso- epoxides catalyzed by chiral gallium complexes is also achieved.
Key words

20A Typical Procedure for the Ring Opening of meso Epoxides by Phenylethynyl Lithium: GaMe3 (0.2 mL, 0.1 mmol, 0.5 M in toluene) was added dropwise to the toluene solution of ligand 7 (57 mg, 0.10 mmol) under argon atmosphere. The mixture was stirred for 2 h at r.t. to form the salen-Ga complex. The toluene solution of phenylethynyl lithium, which was prepared from the reaction of n-BuLi (1.6 mmol in 1 mL hexane) and phenylacetylene (153 mg, 1.5 mmol) at -78 °C before use, was transferred to above solution of salen-Ga complex at 0 °C and stirred for another 1 h. Then the cyclohexene oxide (101 µL, 1.0 mmol) was added slowly to the mixture using a syringe at 0 °C. The resulting mixture was stirred for 48 h at the same temperature before being quenched with a sat. NH4Cl solution and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, and removed the solvent. After being separated by preparative silica gel TLC, 2-(2-phenylethynl)-1-cyclohexanol (120 mg) was obtained as yellow oil in the yield of 60% with 55% ee. [α]D 25 -57.2 (c 0.7, CHCl3). The ee value was determined by HPLC analysis (DAICEL CHIRAL OD-H column, hexane/i-PrOH = 30:1, 0.5 mL/min, 254 nm): tR = 22.35 min, 23.77 min. 1H NMR [16] (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.39-7.48 (m, 2 H), 7.30-7.39 (m, 3 H), 3.53-3.60 (m, 1 H), 2.46-2.48 (m, 1 H), 1.24-2.11 (m, 9 H) ppm. IR(neat): ν = 3429.4, 2229.8 cm-1.
